FAITH BUILDING - STEP 2 - DEEPLY DESIRE TO HAVE FAITH

DEEPLY DESIRE TO HAVE FAITH

If deep in your heart, you really want faith you I can have it. But if you only say you want faith nothing much will happen.

When the desire is deep, when the longing is profound, all of you inner forces will connive to bring forth a realization of the desire. But when what you want is superficial, it remains a frustration, for there is no gathering of inner power to achieve it.

If the principle of attainment is “with all your heart”. If in you innermost you really want a strong faith - a faith that can move mountains, a faith that can overcome impossibilities and a faith that can deliver you to the basic joys of life - you can have it.

Ask yourself: How far are you willing to trek the hard road to this faith?

Will you exercise the discipline and the effort required?

Do you have what it takes to keep on going when it gets tough?

Can you avoid discouragement to defeat you?

You can only do all these things if with all your heart you have the strong desire to develop a strong, workable and joyous faith.

If you are not sure that you really want faith, ask God to fill you with a desire for it. He is the God of the great desires. He plants them in us and develops them. Every day declare and affirm, “I want faith, I want it with all my heart. I believe faith is being developed in me now.”

Again I suggest you memorize the following faith passages and repeat them to yourself every morning and evening, and often during the day.

Pray for faith, think faith, exercise faith, read about faith, affirm faith.
